This bonus-room remodel in Raleigh NC by Lavish transforms an upper-level space into a golf simulator lounge and bar built for year-round entertaining.

A built-in wet bar anchors the lounge with deep navy cabinetry, a shimmering tile backsplash, floating shelves, quartz counters, and a stainless refrigerator. Comfortable lounge seating, leather bar stools, and a round dining table make the room equally suited to game day and casual gatherings.

Our goal was to decorate the Dining Room and adjacent Sitting Room in such a way that it was as refined and elegant as the house; yet fun and happy for this young family. The Dining Room is Refined and Playful at its best with the Schumacher Singeres Wallpaper, which is the name given to visual arts genre depicting monkeys imitating humans from the French Rococo Period. We paired it with simple window treatments and a stippled silver-leaf ceiling treatment. It was important for the growing family to be able to seat many for meals and have a sturdy table. The hand-planed table top detail was perfect, balanced with a light fixture that has equal presence. The host and hostess chairs are offset by lighter fabrics on the side chairs with a bit of contrast trim. The banquette was chosen to be able to accommodate more child-size bottoms than side chairs could. Photos: Spacecrafting

The private home, reminiscent of Maine lodges and family camps, was designed to be a sanctuary for the family and their many relatives. Lassel Architects worked closely with the owners to meet their needs and wishes and collaborated thoroughly with the builder during the construction process to provide a meticulously crafted home. The open-concept plan, framed by a unique timber frame inspired by Greene & Greene’s designs, provides large open spaces for entertaining with generous views to the lake, along with sleeping lofts that comfortably host a crowd overnight. Each of the family members' bedrooms was configured to provide a view to the lake. The bedroom wings pivot off a staircase which winds around a natural tree trunk up to a tower room with 360-degree views of the surrounding lake and forest. All interiors are framed with natural wood and custom-built furniture and cabinets reinforce daily use and activities. The family enjoys the home throughout the entire year; therefore careful attention was paid to insulation, air tightness and efficient mechanical systems, including in-floor heating. The house was integrated into the natural topography of the site to connect the interior and exterior spaces and encourage an organic circulation flow. Solar orientation and summer and winter sun angles were studied to shade in the summer and take advantage of passive solar gain in the winter. Equally important was the use of natural ventilation. The design takes into account cross-ventilation for each bedroom while high and low awning windows to allow cool air to move through the home replacing warm air in the upper floor. The tower functions as a private space with great light and views with the advantage of the Venturi effect on warm summer evenings. Sandy Agrafiotis
